re: St. Louis is a football city and deserves to have another NFL team.

No. It's a sports city like all others that has plenty of support when the on field product warrants it. Blues games have drawn well for decades. And the Battlehawks have led their league in attendance last year. The MLS team has had plenty of support as well.

I disagree with you man. New Orleans might be the best super bowl host site. The saints have plenty of support. They aren't going anywhere.

Since you said this I’ll be nice in my retort.

It’s a dirty and unsafe city. It gets a lot of praise from out of town media that stay in a few block radius for a week or so because of the convenience that is only provided by the city when they have the Super Bowl. They are getting the the Catfish version of New Orleans, not the real city.

Plenty is all relative. San Diego and St. Louis have 3 times the population of the metro New Orleans area. Hell Greenville SC, Virginia Beach, Raleigh, Fresno, Louisville, Salt Lake City, Birmingham, and Omaha all have a higher population than New Orleans right now and are growing while New Orleans is shrinking. If you told someone right now that an NFL franchise was going to any of those cities, they would laugh you off, which is why this really laughable that New Orleans has a NFL team.

the NFL wants a franchise in New Orleans for the multitude of Super Bowls alone. It is the NFL's go to host city.
Do the Saints need to be in NO to host a Super Bowl there?

hat dome is a dump though - sterile, dark and depressing. Would need a new $2BB stadium and another franchise willing to relocate (no candidates at the moment).
I went to a game there when the stadium was pretty new, around 2002 or so. It was like watching a game inside of a Home Depot. Definitely need a new stadium if they want a team.
Because of demographics and two franchises "failing" there, their only hope would be if the NFL decides to expand. No one is going to to look at that market and move a franchise there over a place like San Antonio or San Diego.

a nice resurgence especially by Busch Stadium.

Right now it's still the successor to the Bally network, with naming rights by FanDuel. But still owned by the same shitty company that went bankrupt and then changed their name.
But they've missed payments recently and the Cardinals are exploring giving the rights back to MLB.
So it's a bad time to ask that question because the answer right now is "who fricking knows"

A catfish version is still the best version of any Superbowl host site out there. Last year was a perfect example. I don't disagree about it being dirty and unsafe. That doesn't change the fact that the location of the stadium and the support of the team are enough to keep them in New Orleans even after the entire city was destroyed in 2005.
I'm not saying they will never leave. It will all depend on who the next owner is. If it is a Louisiana guy (Todd Graves) it isn't going anywhere. If someone outside of Louisiana buys it then the chances are better.
Now the Pelicans will be long gone before any talk of the saints leaving comes up.

Well that’s your opinion and I won’t try to take it away from you, just know that you are in the extreme minority with that opinion.

Because the NFL rules dictate it.
Which is kind of ironic to say in a thread about St Louis not having a team considering the league broke so many of their own rules to make that happen.

In 2014, a document listing the specific requirements of Super Bowl hosts was leaked, giving a clear list of what was required for a Super Bowl host.[185] Some of the host requirements include:
The host stadium must be in a market that hosts an NFL team and must have a minimum of 70,000 seats, with the media and electrical amenities necessary to produce the Super Bowl. Stadiums may include temporary seating for Super Bowls, but seating must be approved by the league. Stadiums where the average game day temperature is below 50 °F (10 °C) must either have a roof or a waiver given by the league. There must be a minimum of 35,000 parking spaces within one mile (1.6 km) of the stadium.
